QLC 098: Using Passion as a Compass vs a Destination with Joseph & Matthew Moheban

Today I’m excited to welcome Joseph & Matthew Moheban to The Quarter Life Comeback podcast.

Joseph and Matthew Moheban are two brothers who left the corporate world together to start a company that helps students and young professionals design and live their ultimate lives, with a focus on not letting money or traditional assumptions hold them back from the work, lifestyle and relationships they deserve.

After feeling frustrated that they weren’t running the entrepreneurial business they dreamed of, the brothers asked themselves 3 big questions you’ll hear in the interview and realized they didn’t have to wait.

Growing up, the Moheban brothers admit they we weren’t the smartest, the most talented, the most athletic, or the most anything, really. But they did do one thing that stood out: They never stopped pursuing their passions.

A burning love for sports turned into volunteer basketball and football coaching, which turned into starting a leadership camp, which turned into a passion project while we were in banking and consulting, which turned into a full-time entrepreneurial business by the ages of 25 and 23.

I found this concept fascinating: using passion as a place to come from, rather than a place to get to, and we dive into that and so much more in this interview.

• How to use your passion to guide you to where you want to be
